SPECIAL TMDB Backdrop editor Live

[Drewey]

Ive spent a little time building this to try and make it as usefull as possible for any app regardless of its layout
its been built so it can literally be dropped into any app panel to replace backdrop.php
all edits are done in real time ie move something in the editor it is instantly moved in backdrop.php and also in the app no need to restart the app ect its all done live
once editor is closed backdrop continues to run
iv added an export standalone that could be usefull for hardcoded apps ect

upload to your server go to folder/editor.php add TMDB api ker then refresh go to folder/api/backdrop.php refresh then your good to go

Content SourcesPulls live data from TMDB across 13 endpoints, grouped into four categories. Movies: Trending This Week, Trending Today, Popular, Top Rated, Now Playing, Upcoming, Latest Releases. TV: Trending This Week, Trending Today, Popular, Top Rated, Currently On Air, Airing Today. Discover: filter by genre for either movies or TV. Search: free-text search for movies or TV shows. Language is configurable across 15 locales (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Swedish, Turkish).


Backdrop DisplayShows TMDB backdrop images as a full-screen auto-cycling slideshow. Slide interval is adjustable per-second. Background can be overridden with a custom image (file upload or URL).


Overlays — Text & DataEach element is individually toggleable, draggable, and resizable. Available overlays: Title, Tagline, Rating/votes, Release Date, Overview, Genres, Runtime, Director, Budget, Box Office Revenue, Collection, Age Certification, and a TMDB/custom Logo. All text overlays support pill background (with opacity and blur), border (with width, radius, and colour), glow effect (colour + intensity), and a choice of 21 fonts.


Cast Panel (separate tab)Up to 10 cast members displayed as individual draggable elements. Each shows a profile photo and name — both individually toggleable. Same styling controls as other overlays (pill, border, glow, font, size).


Custom TextTwo independent custom text blocks, each supporting static display or scrolling ticker mode (with adjustable scroll speed and width).


Custom LogoUpload or link your own logo image with size control and optional glow effect (colour + intensity slider).


Interface ThemesSix colour themes for the editor UI itself: Amber Gold, Cyan Blue, Purple, Emerald Green, Rose Pink, and Orange.


ExportSettings and layout are saved server-side to config.json. A standalone self-contained HTML export bakes the API key, layout, and all settings into a single file that runs without the editor or PHP.

Hello mate @G-man,
This is what I did and it worked perfectly:
I uploaded the files to the hosting folder, then pointed the browser to the location of editor.php. After that, I entered my TMDB key, scrolled down, and saved the settings.
Then went to the api folder and refreshed it. After going back to editor.php, everything started working correctly.

Super duper share !! Thanks @Drewey Really easy to use !!

I will be uploading an updated version soon

It worked fine, and I’m sure with the new update it will get even better. I noticed that if you add items like rating, genre, cast, etc. and place them under the logo, it might overlap with it.
I also added the files to one of the IBO panels, and now you can control the backdrop live instantly.
